Altogether, it struck him that it might be a good test-room for an alienist: no incipient lunacy would remain incipient here.
Ezram climbed out and made fast, and so busy was he with his work that he did not glance at Ben, otherwise he might have beheld a phenomenon that would have been of keen interest to the alienist, Forest. His young charge had suddenly grown quite pale.
